The incident made national headlines and Cramblett and her domestic partner Amanda Zinkon[5] filed a lawsuit against the sperm bank which they eventually lost.[6][7][8]

In the lawsuit Cramblett said the incident was "an unplanned transracial parent-child relationship for which she was not, and is not, prepared."[2]

Cramblett also claimed the lawsuit was "not about race".[9]
